vinacreations Handmade Slim AIIi-gator Watch Band Men Quick Release Thin Croc Premium Flat Leather Watch Strap Replacement Bespoke 18mm 19mm 20mm 21mm 22mm 24mm

Looks good, bought this while my custom real gator strap is on order. This strap is a little long and stiff but fits well and looks decent for the price point.

Good quality. Feels great writing the wrist. With the money.

Looks just like the photos. Looks and feels great.

Excellent product.

Fits on my galaxy watch and looks nice

18mm? Beautiful band but did not fit my 18mm lugs.

The blue alligator strap looks black. The color is not like the image.

Exactly what I was looking for. Wanted a thinner than usual quality leather strap that's soft, not too stiff and reasonably priced. Quick release is also a must as it works so easily when switching bands. Very satisfied

I wanted to write a review after seeing the numerous one star reviews questioning the legitimacy of the "crocodile" or "alligator" leather. I took the chance, got the one with no Padding, non-hornback, black, for my cocktail time. What I will say, I'm no expert, but I am an enthusiast with a history owning hundreds of watches and straps over the years. While I don't know for a fact that this is genuine croc, or alligator?? I don't know which it is... But it appears to be legitimate for the following reasons: 1) it smells like leather 2) water slightly absorbs, does not roll off like it would on PU leather/fuax leather 3) the pattern is extremely inconsistent, it has alot of character, fine details between the scales, and shows no uniformity (like most fake croc embossed straps would) 4) it is pliable, like gator or croc leather should be, feels nothing like a croc embossed strap. 5) has other visible imperfections. (you would not see this in a stamped pattern) I posted pictures to demonstrate what I mentioned above. I will say, that while some doubt the authenticity, it is understandable for the price. Also due to the fact it is marketed as 'Alligator' leather, despite no alligators inhabiting Vietnam (the location of the vendor/strap maker). However, there are crocodiles in the location, and there is the possibility the leather itself could have been imported for crafting. Or the vendor just might be using croc/Alligator interchangeably due to the close similarities. But I understand the skepticism ordering online, especially with all the faux leather and croc embossed straps. What tilted this strap to my favour, however, was the following: it looks great, has an authentic looking scale pattern, and is extremely pliable and comfortable. For this strap to be fake, this vendor must have the most realistic looking template/stamp in the world to emboss it in such an non-uniform pattern. Comparing this to most generic/faux croc embossed straps, there is definitely a noticeable difference. I don't know for 100% fact this is genuine, but chances are, they are just using croc or alligator belly for their leather after all. But I am no expert, either way its a pretty convincing copy if so. I think it looks great, and most aspects of the watch lead me to believe it is authentic. Either way, feels great, looks great, and deserves a great review.

I was unsure about this band but it has been awesome. Looks and feels good. It even looks good and fits with my Samsung watch!
